The UConn Libraries cordially invite you to an opening reception for an exhibition of an original illustrated mythology series entitled Astromythos (“star myth” in Greek) by noted artist Jon Sideriadis. The reception will take place on Thursday, April 7, from 7-8:30 p.m.in Homer Babbidge Library.
Sideriadis has been an active freelance illustrator, writer, and conceptual artist for more than a decade. His expertise in science fiction & fantasy art brought in a wide variety of commissioned work in feature films, television shows, video games, novels, comics, board games, trading cards, and album covers. During his time as a creature effects artist in Los Angeles, Jon created promotional artwork for Godzilla, and sculpted latex monster costumes for the feature-length horror films Silent Hill and Underworld 2. He is also currently an illustration and art history professor at Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and Paier College of Art.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, he holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Hartford Art School.
This exhibit, which is part of the Roger L. Crossgrove Exhibit Series, will end on June 13.
